67%:collaborative working using new tools on a real-life research problem

53%: networking events

You also suggested a number of other activities, including: sharing relevant publications and case studies, matching social scientists and computer scientists, training events and international networking events.

We'll be doing a lot of this already - networking opportunities both in person at our events and virtually on our online platform (launching soon), giving opportunities to share best practice and debating ethics.

But is there anything we've missed? Are any of these more important than the others? Let us know over on Methodspace.

About NSMNSS

Should social science researchers embrace social media and, if we do, what are the implications for our methods and practice? This network, led by NatCen Social Research and SAGE along with our affiliate supporters (see below) is for people using or seeking to use social media in social science research who want to explore the implications of that question.
